Multiple Pedit: CP_MPEDIT – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_MPEDIT command in CADPower is a robust and efficient tool designed to streamline the editing of multiple polylines simultaneously. Unlike the traditional PEDIT command, which works on a single polyline at a time, CP_MPEDIT allows users to apply multiple polyline modifications in a batch process, significantly improving productivity. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> More Editing -> Multiple Pedit Key Features: Use Case: Ideal for CAD users managing complex drawings with numerous polylines, such as in urban planning, architecture, and infrastructure design, where batch editing significantly enhances efficiency.

Express Pedit: CP_XV – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_XV command is a streamlined tool designed for quick and efficient editing of polylines by offering rapid access to essential vertex editing features. This command enhances the standard Pedit functionality by introducing faster operations and additional capabilities that improve workflow efficiency. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> More Editing -> Express PEDIT  Key features include: An example of the statistical information is shown below: The CP_XV command is a must-have for CAD professionals who require an expedited and enhanced method for polyline editing, ensuring greater control and efficiency in their design processes.

Measure Distance Between Two Points on Curve: CP_MEASURE2POINTS – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_MEASURE2POINT command allows users to accurately measure the distance between two specific points along a curve. This is particularly useful for analyzing the geometry of curved entities such as splines, arcs, and polylines. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics ->Measure distance between two points on curve Key Features include: By utilizing CP_MEASURE2POINT, CAD users can gain deeper insights into their curved designs, ensuring precision and enhancing the quality of their projects.

Search Entities via Handles: CP_FINDHND – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_FINDHND command is a powerful utility for locating and managing specific entities within a drawing by using their unique handles. Each entity in a CAD drawing is assigned a handle—a unique identifier that makes it easier to track and manipulate objects, especially in large or complex projects. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Search entities via handles Key Features include: Use CP_FINDHND to streamline the process of finding and editing specific entities, enhancing productivity and accuracy in your CAD projects.

Display Information about Polyline Bulge (Arc Segments): CP_BULGE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_BULGE command is an essential diagnostic tool for working with polylines that contain arc segments or are curve-fitted. This command retrieves and displays the bulge values at each vertex of the selected polyline, providing detailed insight into the curvature of these segments. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Display info. about polyline bulge (arc segments) Key Features include: Example: By using CP_BULGE, CAD professionals can efficiently manage and analyze the curvature of polylines, ensuring accuracy in complex designs and facilitating smoother workflows.

Compute Summed Areas of Closed Polylines: CP_CALCAREA – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_CALCAREA command in CADPower allows users to calculate the total area of multiple closed entities such as polylines, splines, and circles in their CAD drawings. This versatile tool not only computes the summed areas but also offers advanced annotation, reporting, and exporting features. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute summed areas of closed polylines Key Features: Use Case: This command is ideal for professionals needing precise area calculations for space planning, material estimation, or cost analysis in architectural, engineering, or manufacturing drawings. Quick Tip: Enable the “Export coordinates into CSV” option to seamlessly transfer data for integration with spreadsheets or database applications.

COMPUTE LENGTH: CP_LENGTH – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_LENGTH command is a powerful tool for calculating the total lengths of various geometric entities in your drawing. By selecting lines, polylines, splines, circles, and arcs, this command provides a comprehensive length calculation, offering both horizontally projected lengths and actual slope lengths where applicable. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute Lengths Key features include: Use CP_LENGTH to ensure accurate length calculations across different types of entities, improving the precision and efficiency of your CAD projects.
